ActiveSalon review
A multi-location tanning suite with T-Max integration and flat-rate pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ActiveSalon is cloud-based management software for tanning salons, including operators with multiple locations. It combines online client booking through a salon-branded web app with cloud client records, purchase history, credits and account information. Staff can manage courses and block bookings, access real-time records across locations, and apply skin-typing and tanning safety policies. Point-of-sale workflows, cash-drawer integration, stock controls, low-stock alerts, appointment reminders and e-receipts extend it beyond basic scheduling. The product is aimed at small, mid-market and enterprise salons that need shared operational records and T-Max equipment connectivity.
Pricing is straightforward but not tiered. The ActiveSalon plan costs £90 per month plus VAT, or £1,080 per year plus VAT, with all features included in either billing option. The published structure keeps the rate flat regardless of locations, staff logins or terminals, which can make expansion easier to budget. A 90-day free trial provides time to assess booking, records, point of sale and reporting workflows before committing. There is no free plan, so continued use requires a paid subscription after the trial.
Platform fit is strongest for salons already using T-Max Manager or T-Max Pro, the named integration. ActiveSalon runs as a web-based cloud service and supports client-facing reservations through its branded web app, while staff work from shared records across locations. Its feature breadth suits businesses wanting booking, compliance records, retail controls and sunbed reporting in one system rather than a narrow appointment calendar. Salons that do not use T-Max, prefer on-premise deployment or need a lower-cost single-site setup should compare alternatives before choosing it.
